Around About
By Justine Weatherford
Having the Girls Class A State Basketball Championship won by
Heppner's remarkable Fillies must have been the moat exciting event of
March 1986 which now finally comes to its last Wednesday. I've heard that
hiatorically Iteppner High School's athletic teams, just like mighty Notre
Dame's, were know as The Fighting Irish So this year after the community
planned its fourth big St Patrick's weekend celbration. the super Irish
Fillies fought their wav past two one point victories to gain the stale
tournament trophy
Jimmy Farley, the father of modern-day Irish celebrations here, stated
that in spile of the cool weather on Saturday. March IS. and even with a large
part of Heppner s population off to cheer their Fillies in the Pendleton
Armory, the attendance at the weekend events was "pretty good"
Jim
knew that this year's featuring of the Doherty and M daiuglin families would
assure a fine attendance Queen RoselU (Doherty Doherty i landsay and.
Grand Marshal Sue 'M eUiughlin Doherty) Doherty were inspirational and
gracious top ladies for the celebration
Many of us really enjoyed the long and lively Saturday afternoon parade
We loved the Scotchman and his sheep dog that herded those geese down
Main Street, we were excited by the county’s first bed race, we felt proud of
lone High School's outstanding participation with its band and girls drill
team and we thank all who took part in the parade and in the arrangements
for it
Perhaps you have heard about the tremendous three month India, a
Festival of Science" exhibition sponsored by the Departments of Science
and Technology of the government of India which is at the Oregon Museum
of Science and Industry lO M S Ii in Portland from March I through May 31
When Kleanor Gonty and I visited there on March 14, I felt we had not
allowed nearly enough time really to see all the wonders in the many booths,
the marvelous art work displayed, the demonstration by the various skilled
Indian artisans Thousands of persons, including many busloads of students
are taking advantage of this great exhibition It would tie a wonderful spring
vacation treat for folks from this area to see if they, like us. are not actually
expecting to visit India
Some of us felt the saddest happening this month has been the
appearances in lleppner of dainty Sen Vmh and her beautiful son Nha Boa
who came to express appreciation to those w ho helped them after Son Vinh's
horrible murder
During the weeks leading to yesterday's election conscientious residents
have been reading, hearing and thinking seriously about community budgets
and about candidates for offices Sometimes preelection times are
depressing, maybe frightening, yet should he quite encouraging as we feel
elated to be living in a democracy where we ordinary folk» have the
responsibility for the progress of our own government
When I feel depressed or bored, by immersing my self in the reading of a
fine book I quickly become completely lifted out of the difficulties of the
dally, real world My reading this last winter, which I finished the day spring
arrived, has been extraordinary M y daughter gave me the 1985 Pulitzer
Prize Winning Novel by Alice Walker "The Color Purple" for Christmas
which I raced through before January A daughter in law presented me with
the late 1984 book "The Koad to T a ra " by Anne Kdwards. a splendidly
written biographical study of the life of Margaret Mitchell whose only novel
was laborously written between 1927 and 1934 This made me feel compelled
again to read "Gone With the Wind " That outstanding story of the Civil W ar
told from the viewpoint of southern woman, which won the Pulitzer Prize
just SO years ago in 1M34» when it became an astounding l>est seller and the
basis for what ia called by multitudes the greatest film ever made, again
facinated me I think I enjoyed it more now than I had when I eagerly read it
soon after its publication
These three books, all set in Georgia, all centered on women are three I
shall keep and probably read again If I could schedule their being read by
others, I would have the non fiction, carefully documented biography of
Margaret Mitchell, " The Hoad to T a ra " read first Then the superbly
researched novel of the great chances in southern life from the pre-war
plantation economy, through the horrors of the Civil War and into the even
worse horrors of he period of reconstruction The characters Mitchell uses in
her Georgia Classic, mainly set in Atlanta her home from her birth in 1900
until her tragic death there in 1949. are so very vivid and so understanding^
based on her own family experiences which I didn't fathom until I read the
facta of her life
Now 50 years later, Alice Walker, who has written other hooks, has come
forth with a modern day look at rural Georgia that has made publishing and
film history I hope to learn more about this author whose book surprised
many persons This third study of life in the proud state of Georgia will
probably complete the formation of my unreal but believable picture of that
far off part of America which I have not actually visited but where I have
oeen living in fancy in recent weeks as I've tiecn delighted by reading and
re reading the words of three very talented, female American writers. Anne
Kdwards. Margaret Mitchell, and Alice Walker
